As a society, we really need to look at ourselves very carefully. What do we value most? What is most important in our lives? Do we really care what happens to the generation next?
If we are really concerned about the generations to come, we need to give them more thought, time and resources.
The questions that we need to ponder upon are:
• What do we hope to achieve when we wish to educate our children?
• Why are we teaching whatever we are teaching in our schools and colleges?
• How can we reach our goals so that the children enjoy the process of learning?
• How can we evaluate without causing spiritual, mental, emotional and physical stress?
• Why are the school teachers, lecturers and professors paid the least?
• How can we expect quality when a mere 3 to 6% of the budget is spent on education all over the world?
• Are we as a society not interested in giving the best education to the next generation?
• Are we ready to give our attention to this long neglected subject yet or do we have to wait for some more students take their lives or squander their lives in trivia and drugs?
• What can be done to correct this grievous situation?
